One of the opening acts of Trump's war of choice was the massacre of schoolkids in Iran. Those kids would be alive today if Congress had done our job and restrained the president's lust for power. Sadly, House Republicans again blocked a bill to end the war. A contemptible failure of moral leadership.

Republicans refused to expand ACA tax credits and now Americans are forgoing their ACA health coverage because they simply can’t afford rising premium costs. Even insurers are pulling back. Fewer choices and higher costs could push even more people out. nytimes.com/2026/05/01/bus…

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion. His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history. My @Morning_Joe Chart.

Oof. The US national gas average just hit $4.30, according to AAA. That's the highest since July 2022. Gas prices have shot up $1.40 since the war in Iran began. That's adding ~$70 extra a month to household costs. #gas #inflation

The average price of a gallon of gas hit $4.39 this morning — up 9¢ in just 24 hours, and 47% higher before the Iran war.

It’s been 60 days since Trump started this war against Iran. But this war should've never should’ve happened, and it needs to end. Now. Under the War Powers Act, this administration is now required withdraw our troops or make their case and seek Congressional authorization.

House Republicans just caved after the longest shutdown ever. They blocked funding for FEMA, TSA, the Coast Guard, and the Secret Service for over two months, then backed down after getting nothing. Making us less safe while they make life more expensive—an awful way to govern.

Important: The US savings rate fell to 3.6% in March. That's the lowest since fall 2022 (the "revenge spend" era). And it's frankly one of the lower readings of all time. American households are getting squeezed. Many are not able to save right now as they face ongoing high costs for gas, electricity, and healthcare. Bottom line: There's less cushion if a downturn or economic slowdown occurs.

This is a chart of fertilizer prices (which impacts food among other things). The red line is 2026 - things are decidely NOT clicking on all cylinders.

Tim Scott: "The fact of the matter is that all of the cylinders are kicking. It is good news. You can even feel in our environment how good things are getting. Gas prices continue to come down, which means your groceries will come down a little bit as well. We've got a lot of good signs in the economy."

JUST IN: PCE Inflation jumped to 3.5% in March, the highest in three years (since May 2023). This is a direct result of the war in Iran. And the pain will almost certainly be worse in April and (likely) May. Core PCE Inflation (excluding food and energy) jumped to 3.2% --> highest since January 2024. This is mainly a gas story, but healthcare also showing some spending increase.

Leaded gas has been gone from cars for decades, but not planes.   @JayObernolte and I introduced the UNLEADED Act to ensure pilots, instructors, and aviation professionals have the tools they need to help general aviation transition away from leaded fuel.

Today, Trump's right-wing Supreme Court has moved to erode the Voting Rights Act and disenfranchise millions of voters.   Republicans know they will lose in November, so they are trying to rig our elections.   Democrats won’t let them. We will use every tool we have to fight back against this abuse of power and protect the fundamental right to vote.

Today's Supreme Court's ruling on the Voting Rights Act is yet another Republican attempt to hold onto power, suppress voters and erode America's democracy. This fight isn't over. Democrats will not let Republicans turn back the clock and undo our country's progress.
